Top developers slam PS3 "broken" allegations  by Russ L at 02:46

Playstation
It seems developers working on PS3 titles are saying that the rumours of the PS3 being "Slow & Broken" are misleading and uninformed.

I guess that's why they are called "rumours", eh? A lot of people seemed to believe these rumours, resulting in articles about it popping up over most gaming forums.

"It's just a pointless measurement," one programmer told us. "Where's the context? How were these numbers measured? There are loads of different ways you can measure tri performance, and just putting up headline figures like that tells you nothing."

"In fact, the PlayStation 2 had better tri performance than the Xbox, on paper," he continued. "Everyone knows that the Xbox was more powerful at running real games, but if you just wanted to fill a screen with 2D, flat colour, unlit triangles, then the PS2 was much better at that, so it looked great in benchmarks. That just shows how meaningless this measurement is - it's really pointless."

My point is theres no confirmation on any sources of information in that article. Although that inquirer article may have been wrong/flawed least they state where they got the information from to validate there claims. That article says stuff like "Several developers claim" and "one programmer told us". Who? I like to know what expertese/qualifications/experience people have about a particular subject before I listen to what they have to say about it. Not to say the Inquirer does that, its much the same. But its all someone said this, someone said that... Sources please!
